Patagonia

We list Patagonia on 8 of our 25 baby clothing pages: outerwear, snowsuits, rain gear, hats, mittens, sun hats, swimwear, rash guards. For every type we open the brand's own site, pick one real product as the example, and write down its name, regular price, sizes and fabric the way the brand states them. For example, its outerwear example is the Baby Reversible Down Sweater Hoody; its snowsuits example is the Infant Micro D Fleece Bunting; Hi-Loft Down Sweater Bunting; its rain gear example is the Baby Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket; Baby Torrentshell One-Piece. Each type name above links to a page where every brand that makes that piece is listed together, with its price tier, sizes and fabrics.

Patagonia is sold through: Own site, Patagonia stores, REI. The brand's own site is patagonia.com. We class Patagonia as "national brand / dtc", which describes the kind of company it is, not its quality. Every example on this page links straight to that product, so you land on the item and not on a search page. The prices we show are regular prices read on the day we checked. Stores run sales often, so the price at checkout can be lower than the one shown here. Stock and sizes change by season, and a print we link to may sell out; the same style usually comes back in a new color or print.

Most Patagonia listings we checked give the size range as: Babies & Toddlers (0 - 5T). Baby sizes are not standard from brand to brand. Two brands can put the same age on the label and cut the garment to different weights and lengths, and some brands size by height in centimeters instead of by months. Go by Patagonia's own size chart, which gives the weight and length each size is made for, and compare it with your baby's current measurements instead of age alone. We do not test fit, so we do not say whether a brand runs small or large.

The fabrics Patagonia names most often on the listings we checked: 100% Recycled Microdenier Polyester Fleece (Infant Micro D Fleece Bunting). On the product pages, the outerwear example lists "Shell: 100% recycled polyester (1.6-oz 30-denier mini-ripstop). Lining: 100% recycled poly". We did not see a GOTS or OEKO-TEX certificate stated on the Patagonia products we checked. That does not mean none exist; it means the pages we read did not state one. Fabric can change between styles and seasons, so read the fiber content on the product page before you buy. Children's sleepwear has its own federal rules on fit and flammability; the CPSC explains them.

We have not confirmed a regular price on a Patagonia product yet, so this page shows no dollar figures for it. We place Patagonia in the mid-range to premium tier. The tier compares a brand's regular prices with the other brands we list; it is not a judgment of quality. A regular price is the full price the brand lists. We never record a sale price, because sales start and end without notice and would make brands look cheaper or dearer than they usually are. The "Where Patagonia prices sit" section on this page shows each priced example against the same piece from every other brand we list.

Outdoor brand with a Babies & Toddlers (0 - 5T) section that includes fleece and down buntings. Sold on its own US site. The bunting page names recycled polyester fleece and two factory or fabric certifications. Patagonia is based in California. On ownership, our note reads: Private company. We class it as "national brand / dtc". Where a company is based is not the same as where its clothes are made. We do not label any brand as made in a particular country unless the brand states it for the product. To check whether Patagonia has recalled a product, search the brand name on the CPSC recall list.
